Monthly Archives: February 2004

In February 2004 I got my first Digital SLR – a Canon EOS300D, about the same time a friend also got one, and we spent a great day roaming about on the South Bank in London. Here are my best shots from the day:

Title: ProximityLocation: City of LondonCamera: Canon EOS 300D / Canon 18-55mm EFNotes: I was interested in the juxtaposition of styles here – the venerable old stone Georgian architecture, in close proximity to the sleek modern glass of the Gherkin.

Title: Movie TagLocation: London BridgeCamera: Canon EOS 300D / Canon 18-55mm EFNotes: Walking across London Bridge, I came across this graffiti tag which had been scrawled on the shiny metal handrail. I liked the colour pop treatment.

Title: Life Imitates ArtLocation: South BankCamera: Canon EOS 300D / Canon 18-55mm EFNotes: The real tree is the art, or is it the artificial one?

Title: A Girl In PinkLocation: South BankCamera: Canon EOS 300D / Canon 18-55mm EFNotes: I was lining up my shot of City Hall when she came trotting down the stairs. Colour pop again emphasised her and made her stand out from the blue tones background.

Title: House Of The Rising SunLocation: Tate Modern, LondonCamera: Canon EOS 300D / Canon 18-55mm EFNotes: The Weather Exhibition was an installation in the spectacular main Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern on London’s South Bank. A fast ISO equivalent film speed helped to capture the misty atmosphere in the hall.
